MIST0524/DOSDOC-MUADDIB
Mistigram: #LongLiveTheFighters! For the second year in a row, @DosDocOne has made Frank Herbert's #Dune one of his literary selections for representation in our annual May science fiction artpack, likely informed by the success of its recent film adaptations in the cinemas. In this #ANSIart illustration we see a #Fremen warrior, clad in stillsuit and wielding a crysknife, defiant against sandworm bombardment from ornithopters, against a backdrop of Arvon, the second moon of Arrakis -- also known as #MuadDib -- looming in the background. This piece was included in last month's MIST0524 collection.
ADEPTAPRIL/JUN10
Mistigram: AdeptApril has made a very literal #ANSIart interpretation of today's unexpected celebration of "Black Cow Day". There she is, the cow, she is black, hats off! But wait: what did this cow achieve that's so noteworthy? If anything, it's something that has been done with one of her byproducts -- that's right, a "black cow" is the original name for the beverage known today as the root beer float! (Granted, that is probably not as interesting to illustrate.) So proudly pour in your sarsaparilla over a scoop of vanilla ice cream (or don't, safrole has been found to be carcinogenic in high doses) and join me in a toast to this dark bovine with the delicious secretions!

MIST0524/LDN-EVERYTHINGSFINEINHERE
Mistigram: a vignette of a do(o)med arcology, "Everything's Fine In Here" is a specimen of #TypewriterArt from the desk of @lordnkon that raises a lot of questions seemingly answered by its title. (What's up with the dome? What's with the apparently smoldering rubble comprising roughly two thirds of your dome's contents? Blink twice if you need help!) This piece was included in last month's science fiction-themed MIST0524 artpack collection.
ADEPTAPRIL/JUN09
Mistigram: you may be surprised to find that Strawberry-Rhubarb Pie warrants a day of celebration, but I can't argue with it! The only thing missing from AdeptApril's #ANSIart illustration is a scoop of vanilla ice cream, waiting to be added after the pie cools and is put on a plate to enjoy.

ADEPTAPRIL/JUN08
Mistigram: it's a choppy day out there on the sea today, according to AdeptApril's #ANSIart screen, but then it's World #Ocean Day, not world puddle day. Some waves, currents and tidal action are expected.

ADEPTAPRIL/JUN07
Mistigram: is your show broadcasting tonight while you have other plans? No worries! Just plug this box into your television set -- doesn't matter whether it's a VHS or Betamax, either will do -- and you can watch it later, in its entirety. (Even the commercials!) This #ANSIart screen celebrating #VCR day was drawn by AdeptApril.

ADEPTAPRIL/JUN06
Mistigram: today AdeptApril has drawn an #ANSIart portrait of @docpop (just out of frame). It's #Yoyo day! This specimen is sleeping, but any moment now it could start walking the dog.
